1.3 IP Backend Network Requirements
Before planning any IP connected MOTOTRBO system, read System Planner (chapter
4.6.3.2 Characteristics of Backend Network).
• Delay/Latency
The amount of time it takes for voice to leave the source repeater and arrive at
the destination repeater. The delay should be less than 60 ms. It can be up to
90 ms, but requires changes in CPS for both radio units and repeaters.
• Jitter
The variation of the packet inter-arrival time. It should be less than 60 ms.
• Packet Loss
In the case of voice, the ongoing call ends if six consecutive packets do not
arrive within 60 ms of their expected arrival time. In the case of data, the
repeater waits for the expected number of packets (as per the data header)
before ending the call.
• Bandwidth
Refer to System Planner for bandwidth calculations, but roughly, it requires 96
kbps for each repeater connection and should be summed up for all repeaters.
If the IP backend network does not satisfy MOTOTRBO requirements, it will degrade
audio quality significantly, including dropped voice calls.
